Lots of other household items can be upcycled. For example, consider transforming a plastic planter and saucer into a chic bird feeder.

Determine Hoop Placement

Place the outer hoop on the globe and adjust placement so the opening is tilted slightly upward and the globe feels equally weighted on either side (Image 1). (This is important so that it hangs correctly.) Once you have it just so, mark on the glass with a pen (Image 2).

Secure With Glue

Remove the hoop and add a thin line of hot glue at the base of hoop (Image 1), then stretch it open and place it back on the bowl in the correct position (Image 2). Add glue to the top of the hoop on both sides (Image 3), then press into place, making sure to line up with the pen marks (Image 4). Allow the glue to cool, then trim away any excess with a utility knife.

Whitewashing your pots is an easy DIY project, perfect for anyone who has a lot of plants throughout their outdoor space. If you want to mix things up, you can even try this technique with different color paints.
